Ampeg is officially annoying

So I got the February issue of Bass Player yesterday with Justin Meldal-Johnson on the cover and I'm leafing through when I come across a couple of pages that seem really thick. I open them up and there is a big freaking folded up Ampeg poster in there...fine whatever...in the trash. Well then I start to remove it and I realize it's attached to the page with one of those page-long strips of sticky, rubbery snot-like substance. When all is said and done I finally got it all out after much scraping and rolling of the snot along with a piece of the page it was attached to. That's just taking the ad too far. Ads should be eye-catching, not intrusive. Blame goes to BP mag for this too since they allowed it.

I'd pay extra to have Bass Player leave out ads, even if it's just the loose ones or cemented ones. I couldn't care less that the guy from Slipknot uses Peavey amps and I think the Ampeg thing is a waste. I don't see the benefit...or the point. Every bassist already knows what an Ampeg is. Huge waste of $ despite NAMM...

The bull**** that pisses me off is that just about 70 percent of all the musician magazines are all product advertisements. Every other page is a picture of a lame gothic heavy metal **** posing with a horrible guitar and a horrible rig. It makes me actually angry to see all the pages wasted by these ads. Save the trees, eat a beaver.
